Helmke's class on Mechanobiology was very interesting. We went through a series of papers and had class discussions/ debates about those. It was a more engaging class than many of my other BME classes. The class focused on helping you learn to make sound scientific arguments, which is something I really appreciated. Overall, I would recommend this class.
